Renato Sanches has rebuilt his reputation during a scoring spell in France and could be on the move this summer.
A little about the topic
The Portuguese footballer has been attracting admiring glances from across Europe for some time now, and Serie A heavyweights Milan and Juve are both on a Lille summer raid for the talented player. Renato Sanches suffered a meek fall from grace after winning the 2016 European Championships, the prestigious Golden Boy award and earning himself a high-profile move to Bayern Munich. A three-year stint with the reigning Ligue 1 champions in France, however, has allowed the youngster to rebuild his reputation and make him return to the recruiting radars of heavyweight outfits looking for another shot of creativity in their respective engine rooms.
Allegri has made adding another midfielder a top priority for Juve in the summer window. He is understood as an admirer of the Portuguese and gave the green light to club officials in Turin to enter into discussions with Lille. These talks are expected to take place at the end of March, when questions will be raised about how much it will cost to remove the Portuguese player from his current entourage. However, Juventus will face competition from domestic rivals in their pursuit of Renato’s signature. Milan are the former Bavaria man’s longtime niggles and see him as a possible successor to Frank Kessy in their plans – with San Siro’s Ivory Coast International looking for free agency.
What did Renato Sanches say?
Barcelona, Liverpool and Arsenal have also been linked to Renato in the recent past, while PL side Newcastle now boast the spending power to join any transfer scandal. Renato Sanches previously struggled in England during a loan spell at Swansea in 2017-18 but has since matured considerably and returned to the Champions League stage with Lille.
Sanches is ready to realize the undoubted potential and leaves the door open for interested parties to take a step. Renato Sanches said about his future that he just knows he’s ready. If an offer comes up, Renato will appreciate it. According to Sanches he was too young at Bayern, but today he feels ready for a big club. Lille also stated that they would let Renato leave if an offer came from a big club and those plans are now in the process of being put together.
